I. Introduction (Time Frame: (15 minutes)

In the analysis of data, we have what we called summary measures which are numbers that measure
various properties of data. There are important types of summarizing measures: the Measures of Central Tendency and
the Measures of Variability. Let us discuss in this lesson all about the measures of central tendency.
The Measures of Central Tendency is any measure representing the center of a set of data arranged in a decreasing
or increasing order of magnitude. These measures include the mean, median, and mode.
Consider the set of data in the table.

3 5 2 4 6

Let us use counters to make stacks that match the table.

Now, let us move some of the counters so that all stacks are of the same height.

All the stacks have 4 counters. The set of data can be described by the number 4. It is the mean of the set of data.

D. Development (Time Frame: 120 minutes)

Ungrouped Data
 Mean

Good morning, Shidel! What are Good morning, Rodley. My

your math scores in our seven scores are 6, 8, 11, 7, 11, 12 and
quizzes? 15. What about yours?

My scores are: 8, 7, 10, 7, 12, 11 and 8.

From the conversation above, who has better scores, Rodley or Shidel? Why?
 In comparing numbers, we need to find a single number that will represent the entire distribution. In this case,
the mean or average will give us the best idea of who scored better. The mean is commonly referred to as the average of all
values. It is the most popular among the measures of central tendency for it is widely used. However, it is affected by extreme
values. To compute the mean, add all the scores and divide the sum by the number of scores. The mean is denoted by the
symbol, 𝒙̅, read as “𝑥 bar.”

Example 1
Find the mean scores of the two learners.
Rodley’s Scores: 8, 7, 10, 7, 12, 11, 8. Shidel’s Scores: 6, 8, 11, 7, 11, 12 and 15.
∑𝑥 ∑𝑥
𝑥̅ = 𝑥̅ =
𝑛 𝑛
8 + 7 + 10 + 7 + 12 + 11 + 8 6 + 8 + 11 + 7 + 11 + 12 + 15
𝑥̅ = 𝑥̅ =
7 𝟕
63 70
= =

7
=9 = 10
Shidel has a higher mean which is 10 than Rodley who has 9. Therefore, Shidel has better scores than Rodley.

Σ𝑥
In the formula, 𝑥̅ = , 𝑥̅ is the mean; Σ𝑥 is the sum of the scores; n is the total frequency.
𝑛

Example 2:

Find the mean for the following data. Value Frequency

(𝒙) (𝒇)
Solution: The value 3 appears two times, 5 appears once,
9 appears three times and 11 appears four times. 3 2
To find the mean, we find the sum of 3 ⦁ 2, 5 ⦁ 1, 9 ⦁ 3, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 11 ⦁ 4 5 1
And then divide by 10, which is the total frequencies. We have,
9 3
(3 ⦁ 2)+(5 ⦁ 1)+( 9 ⦁ 3)+(11 ⦁ 4)
𝑥̅ = 11 4
10
82
=
10

= 8.2 Therefore, the mean is 8.2

 Median
The median is the middle value in the set of data arranged in increasing or decreasing order. It splits the distribution
into halves where 50% of the scores lie above the median and 50% lie below it. The median of the odd number of scores/items
is the middle number when the scores/items are arranged in order of magnitude. If the number of scores is even, the median
is determined by computing the average of the two middle numbers. The median is denoted by the symbol, 𝒙 ̃, read as
“𝑥 tilde.”

Example 1

What is the median score given Rodley’s score? 8, 7, 10, 7, 12, 11, 8

First, let us arrange the scores from lowest to highest.

7 7 8 8 10 11 12
The median score is 8. (In symbol: 𝑥̃ = 8)
Example 2
Find the median in the set of scores: 84, 96, 71, 82, 67, and 92.

First we arrange the given scores from lowest to highest. Since there are six scores, the middle scores are 82 and 84.

67, 71, ⏟
82, 84 , 92, 96
82+84 166
We get the average of 82 and 84: = = 83. Hence, the median score is 83 or 𝑥̃ = 83.
2 2
  Mode
The mode is the most frequently occurring score. The symbol denotes the mode, 𝒙
̂, read as “𝑥 hat.”
Examples
Find the mode of the following set of numbers.

1.) 10, 14, 13, 14, 14, 12.

The number 14 occurs thrice, more often than any other number. Therefore the mode is 14. (In symbol: x̂= 14) The set
of data is unimodal since it has one mode.
2.) 8, 7, 10, 7, 12, 11, 8
Both 7 and 8 occur twice. The list has two modes. We say that the set of data is bimodal. The modes are 7 and 8.
(In symbol: x̂ = 7, 8)
3.) 78, 87, 90, 86, 80
Each entry appears exactly once. The set of data has no mode.
Grouped Data
Below is the frequency distribution showing the result of the CLDDMIHS Second Quarterly Examination in Statistics.
The set of data shows the scores of 60 students in their examination. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the given
grouped data.

15-27 5 21 105
𝑛 = 60 Σ𝑓𝑥 = 3 964
 15+27 28+40
To get the midpoint (x), find the average of the lower class limit and upper class limit. Such as, = 21, = 34 and so on.
2 2
To compute for the 𝒇𝒙, multiply the frequency (f) and the midpoint (x). Such as, 5 x 21 = 105, 3 x 34 = 102 and so on.

Where:

< 𝒄𝒇 = cumulative frequency below the median class
𝒇𝒎𝒅𝒏 = frequency of the median class

Begin with = = 30. Looking in the <cf column, we see that the 30th score fails in the interval 67-79, which is the median class.

Thus, the lower class boundary is equal to 66.5 (67 – 0.5 = 66.5) and the frequency is 17.
